«Creation itself reveals Him that created it; and the work made is itself suggestive of Him that made it; and the world manifests Him that arranged it. Every Church throughout the whole world has received this tradition from the Apostles.»
(Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies, II, 9,1)

The Interdisciplinary Documentation on Religion and Science website seeks to help scientists frame their work within a philosophical and humanistic context. It also seeks to aid people trained in theology to approach, through the humanistic reflections of scientists, the rationale of scientific activity. The website presents an ample anthology of selected documents and also offers, in a separate section, the Interdisciplinary Encyclopedia of Religion and Science, a dynamic, online-only database. The Interdisciplinary Documentation on Religion and Science website is a nonprofit project associated with the Chair of Fundamental Theology at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome, Italy.

Documentazione Generale
Documentazione GeneraleIn order to make certain documents better known in the scientific community, the Anthology and Documents section provides key materials for study and reflection concerning the dialogue among science, philosophy, and theology. It includes scientists’ essays, masterpieces on the history of science, works of philosophers and theologians, and documents from ancient, medieval, and Renaissance authors, as well as Sacred Scripture and official documents of the Catholic Church and other Christian churches.
Dizionario Interdisciplinare
     
Documentazione GeneraleThe Interdisciplinary Encyclopedia provides new, scholarly articles in the rapidly growing international field of Religion and Science. Most of these articles were written primarily by European authors and are available here for the first time in English. They offer a unique window into the approaches and perspectives of the European community toward what has become a field of immense cultural significance throughout the world. Each article provides a very readable and comprehensive summary of what is currently being discussed in religion and science on specific topics as well as how these topics have been discussed historically.
